Chlorogenic acid is the ester of caffeic acid and (-)-quinic acid. Chlorogenic acid is a naturally occurring plant metabolite and can be found with the related compounds cryptochlorgenic acid and neochlorogenic acid in the leaves of Hibiscus sabdariffa, coffee, potato, eggplant, peaches, and prunes. Chlorogenic acid has been investigated as a dietary supplement to improve glucose intolerant hypoglycemia and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. It has also been identified as a potential anticancer agent by reducing the expression of HIF-1a and Sphingosine Kinase-1. Chlorogenic acid was also identified as a neuraminidase blocker effective against influenza A virus (H1N1 and H3N2).

(-)-Epigallocatechin is a polyphenol, which occurs naturally in various plants, including green tea leaves. The compound was shown to have anti-cancer activity in vitro, with breast cancer, lung cancer, and colon cancer cells. The commercial preparation of Polyphenon E contains about 3% (-)-epigallocatechin as an impurity.

Delanzomib (CEP-18770), a proteasome inhibitor, was being developed by Cepahlon (a subsidiary of Teva) for the treatment of cancer and immunological disorders. Delanzomib (CEP-18770) induces apoptotic cell death in multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines and in primary purified CD138-positive explant cultures from untreated and bortezomib-treated MM patients. In vitro, Delanzomib (CEP-18770) has a strong antiangiogenic activity and potently represses RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis. Delanzomib represses the proteasomal degradation of a variety of proteins, including inhibitory kappaBalpha (IkappaBalpha), resulting in the cytoplasmic sequestration of the transcription factor NF-kappaB; inhibition of NF-kappaB nuclear translocation and transcriptional up-regulation of a variety of cell growth-promoting factors; and apoptotic cell death in susceptible tumor cell populations. In vitro studies indicate that this agent exhibits a favorable cytotoxicity profile toward normal human epithelial cells, bone marrow progenitors, and bone marrow-derived stromal cells relative to the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib. Delanzomib has been in phase II clinical trials for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM). However, this research has been discontinued. Currently Delanzomib is on Phase I clinical trial for Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and Solid tumours.

Moveltipril is a captopril derivative patented by Japanese pharmaceutical company Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. as an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, that decreases systemic blood pressure more slowly and persistently than captopril. Moveltipril is partially metabolized to captopril by hydrolysis, predominantly in the liver. In preclinical studies administration of Moveltipril to the anesthetized dogs produced a gradual and dose-dependent decline in aortic pressure associated with no marked changes in coronary blood flow, heart rate. Both Moveltipril and captopril inhibited selectively the pressor response to angiotensin I in a dose-related manner.

Tyrosine ethyl ester hydrochloride is used as a medical and organic intermediate and as an important amino protective agent. It is also used to introduce t-Boc protect gene. Tyrosine ethyl ester hydrochloride is used as a supplement (tyrosine).

Annamycin is a highly lipophilic form of the anthracycline doxorubicin with the ability to bypass multidrug resistance mechanisms of cellular drug resistance. Annamycin belongs to the anthracycline class of drugs, and has a pleiotropic mechanism of action where it targets topoisomerase II, causing strand breaks in DNA. Annamycin forms complexes with DNA by intercalation between base pairs, and it inhibits topoisomerase II activity by stabilizing the DNA-topoisomerase II complex, preventing the religation portion of the ligation-religation reaction that topoisomerase II catalyzes. The agent is being evaluated in separate phase 1 and phase 2 trials in the United States and Europe. Studies in animal models showed the agent to be noncardiotoxic. Trials that included patients with leukemia showed the agent was associated with fewer dose-limiting toxicities than typically experienced with doxorubicin. The FDA granted fast track designation to Annamycin for treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia.
